Spill or Leak Procedures
Steps to Take in Case Material Is
Released or Spilled:
Exposure to the spilled material may be irritating or harmful. Follow personal protective
equipment recommendations found in Section 8 of this SDS. Additional precautions may be
necessary based on special circumstances created by the spill including; the material spilled,
the quantity of the spill, the area in which the spill occurred. Also consider the expertise of
employees in the area responding to the spill. Ventilate the contaminated area. Avoid the
generation of dusts during clean-up.
Prevent the spread of any spill to minimize harm to human health and the environment if safe
to do so. Wear complete and proper personal protective equipment following the
recommendation of Section 8 at a minimum. Dike with suitable absorbent material like
granulated clay. Gather and store in a sealed container pending a waste disposal evaluation.
Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a disposal container

No exposure limits exist for the constituents of this product. General room ventilation
might be required to maintain operator comfort under normal conditions of use. Good
general room ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne contaminates to safe
levels.
Lab coat, apron, eye wash, safety shower.
No respiratory protection required under normal conditions of use. Respiratory
protection may be required in addition to ventilation depending upon conditions of use.
Wear chemical splash goggles when handling this product. Have an eye wash station
available.
Avoid skin contact by wearing chemically resistant gloves, an apron and other protective
equipment depending upon conditions of use. Inspect gloves for chemical break-through
and replace at regular intervals. Clean protective equipment regularly. Wash hands and
other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating, drinking, and when leaving
work.
